    I’m pretty sure the biggest problem in the US is the full-steam-ahead rolling out of fascism. But what do I know…

        The Heritage Foundation, billionaires / trillionaires and their white nationalist puppets - chief of which is the orange stain currently soiling the White House.

        If some of them are closeted gays is probably totally irrelevant.

          If some of them are closeted gays is probably totally irrelevant.

          That’s a whole point though: it isn’t irrelevant at all. It’s their strongest motivator for being such hateful, hypocritical cunts.

            C’mon. Fascist architects don’t give a fuck either way about the people they demonize. They don’t pick people because they have a personal issue with them, they pick them because they best fill the role a fascist needs of them.

            I do not give a fuck about their repressed emotions. No one should. What matters is their actions. Their actions are killing queer people. It does not matter if those actions reflect self-hatred, because they aren’t the ones being killed.

            I mean. I guess that makes sense. There is a bit of this: women make the babies, is a necessary evil.

            I guess the paedophilia would make sense too. If you have to deal with a women the smaller and less knowledgeable the better.

            This is distressing.

          Except they hurt the rest of the community. See my reply below. I didn’t mean to say “it’s only the gays”

        There’s a big undeground homosexual population. Des Moines, Iowa, For an example. Look at the soil around Des Moines, Stuart. You can’t build on it; you can’t grow anything in it. The government Says it’s due to poor farming. But I know what’s really going on, Stuart. I know it’s the queers. They’re in it with the aliens. They’re building landing strips for gay Martians, I swear to God

      That’s what Hunter said. To be clear he’s blaming “closeted gays” not “gays”, he’s known to troll people on social media and nothing upsets the GOP more than the truth.

        The fact that so many progressives can’t tell the difference between genuine ableism/bigotry and trolling conservatives is why America can’t have nice things.

          There are differences anyone can see, but unfortunately there are also unavoidable similarities, including some of the consequences, and that is a lot harder to see.

                  Yes yes a nuanced defense of being an asshole to the right people despite also hurting the wrong people as though the problem is not enough nuance

                  The problem is not that progressives cannot see the differences, it’s that bros refuse to see the similarities.

                    AFAICT the only feelings I’ve hurt are yours.

                    Takes a real jerkface to think they’re entitled to be the only one starting negative interactions with people.

                    If you don’t like what I have to say to you there is a very, very simple solution.

                    edit: Stop starting interactions with me. That’s the solution. Didn’t wanna overload you with nuance so I spelled it out.
